Customer Reviews VIONIC Relax

Have seen for years Vionic shoes marketed on TV shopping channels and although I was impressed by how a foot and leg were made to align properly by the technology I was never inclined to order a pair because I did not think it was something I needed. However, after recently connecting with a new chiropractor about knee, hip and IT band issues in my right leg he suggested I try Vionic to help get things back on track. I know enough not to go barefoot anymore and had been relying on other brands to help we the knee and hip pain. These slippers seem to be helping a bit ( although I would not rely solely on a corrective shoe/sandal/slipper to do the trick) and they are comfortable right out of the box. Also ordered a lovely pair of sandals that have good support. My only issue with the slippers is that the velcro closing across the top of the slipper does not stay in place all the time which means regularly having to tighten it...I believe someone else mentioned a similar issue. I don't have a narrow foot but they are skinny enough that it is a bit annoying but other than that I am finding these slippers to be a good alternative to the other sandals I was using as slippers.

My only objection to these slippers was the price. My PT recommended this slipper to me a while ago, but I resisted because $60.00 for a pair of slippers is pricey. I have plantar fasciitis and was told to always wear shoes in the house. These slippers offer great support and are a good alternative to wearing shoes when I am home. They are easy to slip on and off as opposed to keeping shoes on in the evening when I am relaxing in a chair. I take an 8 1/2 shoe so I purchased the 8 and the fit is just right. I have read reviews that say they run wide, I do not have a wide foot and found the width to also be just right. The strap across the top is velcro, so it can be adjusted if needed.

I have no arches at all, and desperately need arch support in all my shoes, even slippers. I really love these. They're amazingly comfortable, and work well for me 3/4 of the year. (I have a pair of Vionic booties for cold winter nights.) My only complaint is that they really are a bit too wide, and I have to snug them up with a lot of overlap of the top Velcro to the side of the shoe. The leopard print is fun. Slippers should be fun.

Great house shoes that are supportive (we have all tile floors) and comfy. I love that they do not make your feet feel hot. In Florida, it is rare to need slippers that are "warm". I love that they're adjustable.

I was surprised that these were a full size larger. I have 8's in a pair of Vionic flip flop sandals and a different style slipper, but these slippers fit perfectly in a 7. These are lighter than my other slippers which is nice, but still sturdy and lots of support. I got the tan and really like the nude look for summer around the house.

This is my second pair of these. They are very supportive, put my foot in the correct position, and are great to wear around the house. It would be nice if they came in 1/2 sizes, instead I go up to a size 8. I also wear wide width, but with the adjustable Velcro, these are fine. When this company was Orthaheel, they had a similar slipper without the plush fabric. I liked those better since they could be worn outside. I find that the fabric as well as the rubber on the bottom start to wear away over time. The Orthaheel would last much longer, basically just compressing over years, and not being as supportive. So I would say there is some loss of quality with these. That said, they are still very comfortable and the best for my feet.

I have bad arch support & need a slipper that I can wear all day in and out of the house. This is a perfect summer slipper and very comfortable. Arch suport works along with the velcro width adjustment. Glad I found them.

These slippers are so very comfortable, and give great support. I get home and immediately put them on every day. I recently replaced all of my carpet with hardwood look tile and was experiencing back pain when I worked around the house but not any more, I can stand for hours in comfort. I liked them so much I ordered another pair!

Sizing was hard to determine regarding initial purchase. Should have adhered to the manufacturer's sizing chart vs. relying on reviews. Wear a size 7.5 so ordered a 6 as recommended in reviews. Returned and ordered a 7. Soles are a bit hard and clumsy but support is more than adequate. Material is soft. Am very active and athletic so anticipating long term wear will provide foot and calf comfort needed following a hot yoga practice or long ski day.

I love Vionic shoes- they are great for my feet- so I thought I'd try this slipper, particularly since it got great reviews. I also hoped that with the open toes, they would be good summer slippers, but time will tell about that. So the good news is that these slippers are SUPER comfortable. They are soft & feel a lot like wearing the vionic Karina sandal. But as comfortable as they are, they are UGLY! Truly, my family all laughed at my "gramma slippers." The other issue is that because of the velcro closure, I don't feel like it holds my foot well. I have them as tight as I can make them, but still feel like I'm sliding around in them. I'll keep them, but truly I don't know how much use I'll get out of them.

I was looking for a comfortable open toe slipper to wear during the summer. It's too soon to tell if they will me cool enough for summer, but I am very glad to have them now. They have wonderful arch support for me - usually I wear an orthodic or glue in an extra arch support; something I didn't want to have to do in a slipper. I usually wear an 11, but based on other reviews, I ordered both a 10 and 11. The 11 are perfect, and the width is adjustable with Velcro. They aren't the most attractive footwear I've owned, but they feel great on my feet. I told my boyfriend they remind me of something out of the Flintstones, so now he calls me Pepples ??

Cute slippers with great arch support! The material was soft, and the footbed nicely cushioned. In spite of all that, I returned them because they didn't feel secure on my feet. I felt like I was going to slip out the front of them. I don't know that that would happen as the Velcro closures seemed secure, but the feeling bothered me regardless.

I have mixed feelings on these slippers. They have excellent support for anyone with foot problems; however, they run really wide (as most others have said). If I pull the velcro all the way, it makes them so tight on the top of my foot that my foot ends up sore on the very top. My solution is to wear 2 pairs of socks. I have also inserted Berkenstock half insoles/orthotics in the heel area to give even more support. The whole thing sounds like a lot of modification for the price, but they are still the best I have found to stand on my feet most of the day at home on concrete floors. I do recommend.

I got this in hopes of helping my plantar fasciitis when walking around at home. I'm still getting use to them since they do feel different. At first where they Velcro underneath was rubbing and hurting the top of my foot so bad. If I loosened the Velcro the slipper was too lose and was not fitting smug. They are better now but I'm not ready to wear them 100% of the time. Still working my way to that. I am glad I got them though.

Very comfortable and supportive. Good arch. Nicely padded sole. Like adjustable instep band with Velcro closure. Bought to replace a BeautyFeel slide and they are a great replacement. Would have preferred a more stylish option and more color choices but these work. Note they are generously sized but not a full half size larger. Hope they last as long. Will try other Vionic shoes after my experience with this slipper.

I LOVE Vionics. I have a lot of their flip flops and sandals. Unfortunately these did not work for me. I just could not get a good fit with the Velcro top. Although I will be returning these, I will continue to be a VIONIC fan.

Ever since getting plantar fasciitis I am needing to wear shoes in the house. These house slippers are very comfortable with a nice arch. I like that you can adjust the straps to make them fit better. My only complaint is I keep find little pieces of the fuzz off my slippers as I wear them in the house. You can't go wrong with Vionic!

This is my second pair of vionic relax slippers. Love the convenience of wearing these around the house. I had an episode with plantars fasciitis a couple of years ago and am now careful to wear shoes like vionic to support my high arches. Although I love the Velcro closure, it seems to stretch somewhat and wish the capability to tighten the Velcro more was an option.

I love these slippers! I was hesitant to spend so much on slippers, but they provide a lot of support. I only wish they were machine washable.

Nice slippers. A bit stiff/hard and will take awhile to break in. Zappos shipping is always so fast and amazing! Thanks Zappos!

These slippers are very comfortable and fit well. I have wide feet. After reading the reviews I ordered an 8 in black; I usually wear 8-1/2 or 9. My only complaint is that they won't stop shedding! There are black tufts everywhere; on the floor, rug, bed, my feet. Hopefully, they will stop shedding soon.

Comfortable and has enough cushion to avoid heel pain. Rather expensive. Does not come in 1/2 sizes, ordered a size up and that works fine.

Very comfortable and supportive, which is what I wanted. But, they shed and leave fuzz around the house. Since they are the most comfortable that I've found, it's worth it to me to keep them, but it's something to consider.

I've had a pair of these slippers for 2 years and absolutely love them. I wake up in the morning with sore feet (arthritis) and they are a joy to put on. The arch support is the best ever, bar none. I was wearing them one morning when I realized my daughter needed a pair of these, so I ordered them for her and they arrived the next day. (Gotta love Zappos) But the shoes seem a little different. Where the back right "strap" meets the shoe, the strap is sewn further into the center of the shoe than is done on the left side. (And this is in both slippers; the right side of each one.) As a result, my daughter kind of walks on the edge of those straps and this rubs against her foot. Both feet. I compared her new slippers with my old ones and on my pair the straps are sewn very close to the edge of the slipper. I don't walk on them. You can actually look at the slippers and see the difference in sewing from the left side to the right side. As a result, we (unfortunately) are sending back my daughter's new pair. I'm hoping Vionic will look at their design and see if some shoes are being made differently than in the past. I will wait a while, then reorder.

Good support, comfortable but no flexibility to the sole... A bit clunky. The straps are comfortable and being adjustable makes it a big plus.
